ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Yes. I have been to the doctor for what I thought was a bad cold. He said I may have bronchitis or possibly pneumonia. I was give 2 shots, one antibiotic, and one steroid shot. He then prescribed an inhaler and another antibiotic that I am to take orally, once a day. My question, is he treating me for pneumonia? And if so, how long should I stay home from work to heal, and can I take Advil for my headache? Thanks. | Respected Sir, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly. For 1st question, yes he is treating as pneumonia. Your stay at home is depending on your clinical recovery and symptomatology. If breathing comfortably, nobody aches, no coughing or much cold can resume work in 3-4 days. For 2nd question, you must take Advil for headache after concerning your therapist. Because it requires dosage adjustments along with concurrent use of steroids. And if you have side effects such as unusual bleeding, severe Aldo. Pain, dizziness, light headdress, black tarry stools immediately rush to ER. Hope this clears your both questions satisfactorily. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. RegardsWishing you fast and speedy recovery from the same. Take care bye dear. |

Thanking you, A patient from Assam | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern. The open irritated and raw surface must be continuously covered with a cream using a cotton applicator. This will prevent this area from Chat Doctor. If the symptoms persist, closure of the septal perforations could be performed either non surgically by using plastic septal button or surgically using various grafts. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help you. Wish you a good health and speedy recovery. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I just got my blood panel results back the other day and it had the following results: Testosterone , Total: 410 mg/mL (low) Vitamin D: 23 mg/mL (low) Cholesterol: 113 mg/mL (low) WBC: 2.0 k/uL (low) Lymphocytes: 40.7 % (mid-high) Monocytes: 17.5 % (high) The doctor referred me to a hematologist , but the soonest appointment is next week. I ve had the same types of numbers on previous blood panels (over 10 years) and I m hardly ever sick. I m a 41 year old male, I don t smoke and I don t drink. Should I be worried? Could it be cancer? I m freaking out here. | From what you have written you don't have cancer and there is nothing to worry also. Cancer cells can be made out on peripheral smear itself. Since you said you have the same type of blood picture 10 years back, it all the more indicates that there is nothing to worry. Cancer usually progresses with time. There is one type of cancer of lymphocytes which progresses very slowly, but your blood counts don't suggest that type of cancer also |

I can understand your concern for your father.1. The conditions you have written indicate that his heart is having its 20-25% capacity to supply blood to the whole body.2. His heart is working more to pump blood everywhere, so his pulse is fast.3. He is not doing any work, so his heart is able to cope up in resting phase.4. The medicines he is taking is relieving his pain. 5. The condition of the heart is such, that it will not tolerate any anesthesia. Other blockages in the arteries, and possibly the loss of pumping capacity, which is called failure, are complications which make operation impossible. Please continue the medicines for a good quality life. If there was any surgical treatment available, the doctor would have advised you. Best wishes. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Ive been diagnosed with Telogen effluviem - Ive had shedding hairs for over a year and lost about 50% of it all over. It was thought to be my lowish iron but taking iron has made no difference. My bloods are normal - Im not menopausal or thyroid. The texture is really different - before it was fine (thick), straight and silky - it is now wiry, flyaway, soft and woolly feeling. When I wake in the morning I have an aura of fine hairs all around my head. Conditioners make no difference - in fact they make it fall out more if anything. It is not coloured and has not grown for about a year. Can you suggest anything? | You seem to be suffering from excessive hair fall and Though your blood levels are normal, the overall hair growth and rate of growth may be affected more in your case due to other causes. In your case, the hair fall, maybe prolonged due to other factors as well, such as poor nutrition, stress, lack of rest, low iron and hemoglobin levels, Dan Chat Doctor. For your hair to grow well, it needs sufficient nutrition. Fever, typhoid, recent illness, water change, work stress, pollution etc. is a factor. Any illness or course of medication, application etc., taken a year ago when your complaints started could have changed the hair texture. It does happen rarely. Though you have been on treatment with iron, you will need to continue it, as hair growth follows a cycle over a period of 1-3 years and takes time for new hair to grow. These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth. For now, you may start with Du cray Anaheim serum to scalp at night, along with hair supplements daily like Collinear or pronged capsule to stimulate new growth. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months to see results. Use mild shampoo and conditioner like Anaphase or Renoir for hair growth start with the treatment as advised and see a doctor for follow up. But do keep in mind it will take time to improve. It would help if you could narrow down on a possible cause and avoid it. If your hair is very thin and scanty on the scalp, and medical methods do not work well for you, after a few months of observation, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP, mesotherapy, lasers, etc, as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation, if they feel that it will be a good option for you. This is a later option which stimulates new hair growth. Also get a good nutritious diet, avoid stress, pollution, get good rest, required for healthy hair. Hope this guides you |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I was playing basketball last night and as i was running backwards my foot turned inward and i heard a crack. It hurt at the time, then it felt better and I played the rest of practice. When I got home i iced it and went to bed. When i woke up this morning it hurts so bad like 5/10. However, it is not swollen or bruised. what should I do? | Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle or ligament issue. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and maintain the foot immobilized. A foot split would be helpful. If the symptoms continue, you should see an orthopedist. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I have had this before and it comes and goes, mostly on the tops of both hands closer to my wrists. sort of looks like poison oak or something. but it is winter time in Ohio. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, I read your query and understood your concern. The rash you describe could be many things but to me, it seems like either contact dermatitis or insect bite hypersensitivity. Apply mild topical steroid like HY Chat Doctor. Take oral anti-allergic like cetirizine / loratadine twice a day for itching and tingling. Do not scratch a lot over the lesion. Apply moisturizer over the affected area to calm the itching.

Tonsils are not inflamed, throat a bit dry, and does not hurt to swallow. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. One of the reasons for your symptoms is anxiety which you told. Globus hystericus is a feeling of something like a lump in throat which cannot be swallowed, or swallowed and reappears. Tonsils usually are asymptomatic unless very large and obstruct throat are inflamed causing severe pain. If your throat is red, or you run a fever then chances of inflammation are more. Alternatively, you may send a picture of your throat so that I may see any visible inflammation or tonsils. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I was diagnosed with HPV last summer. I had one of the Gardasil shots prior to being with the partner who gave it to me and then the other 2 afterwards. I just found out today that his prior girlfriend got cancer from it. Does this mean I have the exact same strain and will get cancer too?! I havent had any symptoms besides an abnormal pap smear, and my boyfriend has maybe had just a couple mild warts, we werent sure if they were or not. Please help! | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Gardasil shots will not cause cancer, and it protects from cancer. However, if you have been exposed to an HPV before being completely vaccinated then you might develop the infection and that is what has happened to you. It is not mandatory that if your partners earlier partner had cervical cancer then you will also get it. Since you have abnormal pap smear earlier therefore chances of a malignant condition might persist, and you have to get pap smear done every year and if indicated a cervical biopsy also. Please do not worry. |

In my opinion it takes 3-6 months for normal ovulation to occur. When ovulation occurs regularly the chances of conception increases. So don't worry. Avoid stress as it might cause hormonal imbalance and delay the fertility. The delayed period with negative pregnancy test rules out pregnancy. So wait for spontaneous onset of period for another week or 10 days. If no period consult gynecologist for with Chat Doctor. Best regards... |

I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions but It's difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination. From your description it seems you have got cuneiform eruption and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I m 24/M, recently I ve been having Numb legs while sitting and crossing legs. Numbness In my arms when laying straight on the bed and holding my ipad or phone. Numbness in my lower back head when I m looking down while laying straight on the bed with the pillow under my head. What should I do? Ever since I start going to gym 2 weeks ago more frequent this started to happen. Any Advice.. Thanks | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. Since you mentioned this all aches started after going to gym then the mechanism of injury is the impact to the spinal muscles. First let me begin with this. For going to gym many people avoid the 3 basic steps as per me.1. Clearance from a cardiologist2. Clearnace from an Orthopedic3. Clearance from a neurologist. Now many people wonder why I say to meet three people before going to gym .well, the answer is here and common for all irrespective of the age.1. The cardiologist has to give cardiac clearance for undergoing cardiac training as anything unknown can be traced and help the individual perform better in a gym.2. The orthopedic has to check the bony or muscular issues if any is present. Once he assess he will be able to say what should be done and what should be avoided. Since most injuries in gym are muscular, soft tissue and bony. He may even guide to a physical therapist for rehabilitation exercise plan to undergo in gym.3. The role of a neurologist is to check your motor and sensory behavior. If there is a lack of concentration and coordination there might be a chance of fall and landing the individual in a hospital. Now coming to your case. As per the symptoms you mentioned it looks like you have a nerve entrapment. It may have occurred due to running on a treadmill as when you run on a treadmill you hit your heal hard to the hard surface beneath and that's where the Newtons third law comes - ever action has equal and opposite reaction. So the harder you hit your heal the harder the hit comes back. It will straight away travel up to the spine. This was just a simple example.coming to focus on your issue, I will request you to meet an orthopedic and get an MRI done to check any soft tissue or bony injuries in the lower back and neck region. As mentioned by you, it appears that you have a radiating symptoms of pain which is an appearing to be a soft tissue Damage and nerve entrapment. Your orthopedic may advise you to undergo physical therapy sessions for the same. For which you should definitely try out. As the physical therapist will re-asses you and figure out your physical capacity to undergo the stress and strain in the future. Also to mention, that you should first stop the gym and not ignore these symptoms. It can get worsen and one has to say only one sentence - did all what doctor said but nothing worked well?well, injury starts by a mistake. So correct a mistake one needs to be focused on the self always. With the grace of God I wish you a good health |

I don t see that I am eating in excess any food foods high in potassium. The only drug that seems to affect potassium levels that I take is Aleve. Could this higher level of potassium be an indicator of kidney disease? | Hello... Hyperkalemia -- high potassium in your blood -- may occur if your kidneys do not work properly Kidney disease is the most common cause of hyperkalemia. Excess potassium in the diet can also contribute to increased levels in your blood, especially if there is an issue with kidney function. Salt substitutes typically contain high amounts of potassium.

In case of doubt blood beta Chat Doctor test and USG will be of help. 3) Secondly, even if you are pregnant, then tablet Tranexamic acid does not have any negative impact on the ability to get pregnant nor does it affect pregnancy.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I was just wondering if u had heard of anything like I have before: I have had sciatica pain and symptoms in left leg for 4 months and electric shock sharp pains and tingling in area of lumbar puncture for around 6. A neurosurgeon also commented on how high the 3 lumbar puncture scars are in my back could this contribute? Could a nerve be damaged and causing all of the pain? Or do think sciatica has come from over compensating for pain in my back? Had MRI no issues on that. Referred to neurologist but just thought u might be able to shed some light if you ve heard of it before. Thank you rosie | Hello, You have sciatica like pain Initially with no significant abnormalities in MRI. You have not mentioned the reason for lumbar puncture. Lumbar puncture is usually done below the level of spinal cord Lower end and at this site only nerve are present for lower limbs. Usually lumbar puncture is safe procedure and associated with some local site pain and headache lasting for few days. Your tingling sensation may be due to nerve root compression Secondary to your sciatica or less likely it may be some non-significant injury to local tissue. I will advise you to consult a neurologist and take some pain modulator Chat Doctor. Hope you recover early Thanks |

After removing tracheostomy tube I started having very strong cough and my throat is constantly itching. I was hoping that this condition will disappear after few months but it continues for over two years. The coughing and itching is very strong and it became stronger during the last few weeks.

I will be very grateful for any suggestions | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Long term tracheostomy does cause certain adverse effects and minor complications. These may include traumatic (inflammation over the trachea) and narrowing of the trachea. Your symptoms could also be related to infections of the upper respiratory tracts, either by a bacteria or virus. Lastly, it could be allergic symptoms. You require a detailed evaluation by an ENT surgeon to establish the exact diagnosis, so that the appropriate treatment can be suggested. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. |

I am in the army. I have never smoked. 21 years old. In -10 Degree to -40 Degrees F. When I lay down the cough is so horrible that I can not fall asleep without taking Nyquil. What can I do to get rid of this? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely rule out bronchitis. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways, and it is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI). So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Should I worry? | Hello dear, thanks for posting your query here. The pain described by you is what is called as typical angina. So you have to get yourself evaluated properly. You must immediately go to your doctor to get an ECG done. And you might need a stress test of your ECG is normal.

Wanted your opinion | Dear Ma'am, Sorry to hear about your problem, but I am glad that you are seeking medical attention for the same. Breast cancer usually presents as a painful lump in the breast and painful enlargement of the breast is usually not a sign of breast cancer. There might be still be a small chance that this could be something suspicious. To rule that out you should have this problem evaluated by a breast/ general surgeon. Also, you need to have an ultrasound of the breast for better evaluation of the lump. Please feel free to ask any other query or share your USG report. Rohan KhandelwalBreast [email protected] |

Can you help? | Hello, I think vaginal size doesn't affect the pregnancy gestation. If your periods are irregular, do an evaluation of yourself. Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. You can try medicines for growth of your follicles and track the growth of your follicles by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles are more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. You can go for intrauterine insemination (GUI) if you are not able to do sexual intercourse naturally. Take progesterone for the next two weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that.

Its done it before and it went away the next day but all I did was put a cool towl on his eyes. | Cellophane you for contacting Chat Doctor. Most probably your son is suffering from allergy due to some source in the pool. It could be an insect bite or anything else. I won't be able to recommend you medicine as you have not mentioned age of your son. One thing that you can do is that heat some cloth on flame so that it becomes slightly warm, then place it over the eye. It will give soothing effect. Repeat 3-4 times a day. Visit hospital if :> Is condition persists for more than 2 days.> If any other symptom appears.> If child becomes lethargic, Chat Doctor. Thank You |

TB damages inner lining of Uterus & tube. Maybe that's why one tube is blocked. Your Uterus inner lining where baby attaches may not be very healthy. So you aborted with reduced blood flow to baby. After you finish Medicines for TB, you can get pregnant, but will need a lot of hormonal support to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Next time you get pregnant have an early scan to rule out pregnancy in tube small the best |

The TORCH test checks Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Chlamydia and Herpes infection in the maternal blood. ANA and Lupus anticoagulant are done to see if you have Systemic lupus Erythematous which can cause problems in pregnancy and delivery. They are two different things. Was there a specific reason you were advised these at 6 weeks of pregnancy ? Do you have any recent fever or any other disease ? Do you have previous history of repeated abortion? If you do have repeated abortion in you obstetric history then these results of homogenous positive ANA and LA 44.5 need to be seen by an experienced obstetrician or hematologist. Hope this helps.

Is this common with an acute appendicitis or should I have it checked to make sure it dropped back to normal? Please advise. Thank you! | Hi...usually, before surgery the kid would have been starved and immediately after surgery too his oral intake may have been poor. Usually starvation results in ketones being present in the urine. This is the reason and not appendicitis.

I was just wondering with the AZA drug would you be able to tan. I love the sun and live in Arkansas and was just wondering. I also have a colostomy bag (4 years now) permanent and also MS and also take phenebarbitol for a seizure disorder but have not had one in over 20 years. The nuero I have had heard on HE but had never met anyone that had it until he met me so does not know a lot about it so we are doing trial and error and we have a facebook page and he has me print things off when I see him every three months. I know that the prednisone is not good for me so was just thinking of something else to tell him. It will be 2 years this Sept since I have been on prednisone every week. | Hello, I read carefully your question. Hashimoto encephalopathy is an autoimmune disease which is associated with thyroiditis. Patients with this condition respond most of the time very well to the corticosteroid therapy, and that's why the condition is also known as steroid responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis. In the cases that the steroid therapy isn't successful, immunosuppresses are used like azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide or even plasmapheresis or intravenous immunoglobulins. When taking azathioprine, like any other immunosuppress, one must be very careful about the skin, because the risk of suffering from skin cancer is greater during this kind of treatment. You have to use very high sun protection (over 30 UV factors), avoid sunbathing especially the midday hours (11am-3pm). Also, even if you're getting good care of your skin you have to control frequently, every week) if there are changes in your ski, and you have to report any skin lesion or new scars to your doctor and the dermatologist. I hope I've been of help. You can contact me again for further questions, I would be pleased to assist you. |

I didn t get to talk to the doctor - and person I spoke too was not helpful. What could be cause for elevated white blood count & should I be watching for anything in particular? | Hello. Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Elevated WBC count is leukocytosis. Leukocytosis is caused mostly due to infections. Bacterial infections might cause neutrophil fraction of WBC to rise and hence total WBC count increases. Viral infections cause lymphocytes to increase. Inflammatory conditions also raise WBC count. It is probably due to your underlying condition and was masked due to water retention earlier and is unmasked by water loss by Las ix. It will resolve after your infection is controlled. Thanks. |

There are symptoms of low calcium level - body pain especially. Joint pain. Vitamin D leads to low calcium levels and the symptoms are that of low calcium levels. The common causes of low vitamin D are:1. Low exposure to sunlight. Sunlight converts vitamin D in skin to its active form.2. Deficiency of foods rich in vitamin D - fish, fish liver oil, eggs, milk, cheese are foods rich in vitamin D. Deficiency of these food items lead to low vitamin D levels.3. Liver and/or kidney disease - Liver and kidney are the organs where vitamin D is converted to its active forms. Kidney is the organ where the final activation takes place. Are any of the above-mentioned risk factors present in your case? If yes then the low levels have to be recovered and thereafter the cause has to be removed. A family history of prostate cancer is not a risk factor for low vitamin D levels. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

My doctor is trying a gluten free diet right now, but I do not see a change. Please Help Kelly | Hello, kellymccreary, Your symptoms of nausea and bloating is probably not related to your gallbladder surgery. Most often, we see HERD (GastroesophagealReflux Disease) associated with gallbladder disease. If you have hiatus hernia you could have similar symptoms. Also, the other condition that is more common with these type of symptoms is IBS (Irritable Bowels Chat Doctor. As for gluten-free diet, that is helpful only if you have gluten sensitivity. True Celiac disease is autoimmune mediated and affects the lining of the small intestine and causes malabsorption and subsequent problems. These might include weight loss, diarrhea (Fatty stools), vitamin and mineral deficiencies, brittle bones, skin problems etc. etc. Gluten is present in Wheat, Oats and Barley products. There are a small percentage of people who are allergic to or sensitive to gluten without having Celiac Disease. I would recommend trying a PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) such as Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Omeprazole or Esomeprazole-All are available without prescription, take 20 mg. once or twice a day for 1-2 weeks, about an hour before meal sand see if that helps. Try to avoid excess caffeine, alcohol, very spicy foods, citrus and tomato products and see if that makes a difference. If no improvement you may need to have an endoscopic evaluation. I hope you were tested for Celiac through special blood tests. I wish you well. |

You have done X-Ray of the abdomen for suspected kidney infection since 2 months which is reported to have multiple rounded calcific densities with radiolucent centers in pelvis, and a small punctate calcification in hemiplegia. The multiple calcified densities with radiolucent center are stones in the renal pelvis whereas small punctate calcification represent small calcified particles less than 2 mm in diameter which usually pass out through urine spontaneously.

Do you have any physical symptom or any other reason to be worried? Do you remember or did they tell you why the puppy died? The mean incubation period for rabies is 20-90 days and in more than 90% of cases, incubation is less than 1 year. In very rare cases incubation may take longer (several years). I don't think that you should worry and vaccinate. Anyway you can ask local health authority about rabies cases in your living place. Feel free for additional questions. Best regards |

Cyst in brain or spinal cord are called as neural tube defects and can affect the development of the baby, depending on their size and location.

If you have irregular periods after 6 months of delivery, then you can take medications for it.Also, Women with PCs are prone for gestational diabetes, do get your sugar levels checked.

Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and an ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. If anything is abnormal it can be treated. You may need some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Discuss with your doctor regarding this.

Also Salmonella pRATYPHI A, H (AH) is non reactive and Salmonella paratyphi B, H (BH IS non reactive.. is he suffering from typhoid.. | Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Typhoid and paratyphoid fevers are commonly grouped together under the collective term enteric fever. Typhoid is caused by Salmonella type and paratyphoid is caused by either Salmonella paratyphoid A, B, or C. TIDAL test is a presumptive serological test for enteric fever. Tidal Test is an agglutination test which detects the presence of serum agglutinins (H and O) in patients serum with typhoid and paratyphoid fever. If the title shows 1:100 or more for O agglutinations and 1:200 or more for H agglutination, it should be considered as clinically significant and indicative of active infection. Hence, from the above report you have furnished, it is evident that he is suffering from typhoid. Typhoid fever is treated with a course of oral antibiotics which kill the Salmonella bacteria. Several antibiotics are effective for the treatment of typhoid fever. The choice of antibiotics is guided by identifying the geographic region where the infection was contracted. With appropriate antibiotic therapy, there is usually improvement within one to two days and recovery within seven to 10 days. Along with antibiotics, you need to consume bland diet for at least 3 weeks to make sure the relapse does not take place. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. |

Though your levels maybe normal, the overall hair growth and rate of growth may be affected more in your case, even on treatment. I hope your thyroid levels are in check. In your case, the hair fall, maybe prolonged due to other factors as well, such as poor nutrition, stress, lack of rest, low iron and hemoglobin levels, hormonal changes etc. Dan Chat Doctor. For your hair to grow well, it needs sufficient nutrition. Fever, typhoid, recent illness, water change, work stress, pollution etc. is a factor. Low hemoglobin/iron levels need to be checked as well. These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth. You can consult a dermatologist regarding any tests that may be required to diagnose the causes. They can assess your hair in person and advise accordingly. They may advise hemoglobin, iron, hormone levels if needed. For now, you may start a Recite solution or Tress go serum to scalp at night, along with hair supplements daily like Seraglio or Bootee capsule. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months to see results. Use mild shampoo and conditioner like Anaphase or Renoir for hair growth start with the treatment as advised and see a doctor. And remember to check your thyroid levels regularly as advised and follow treatment. Due to the thyroid condition, hair growth will be a little slower than normal. If your hair is very thin and scanty on the scalp, and medical methods do not work well for you, after a few months of observation, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP, as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation, if they feel that it will be a good option for you. This is a later option. Also get a good nutritious diet, avoid stress, pollution, get good rest. Hope this guides you. |

You should also check for your blood sugar as these infections are common in diabetic person and high sugar can lead to recurring infection.

Yes, possibility of post infectious bronchitis or lower respiratory tract infection (LETI) is more in your case. Both these conditions are common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI). And both of them cause pleuritic pain (chest pain on deep breathing). So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out LETI.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | We have a 16 month old baby. She has been suffering from serious allergy for last 3/4 months. Her skin gets red as rash. It itches heavily. She feels discomfort in sleeping. Sleeping does not look like sound. Would you please suggest us what we should do now? It is mentioned here that I, the father of the baby have acute allergy from my age 23. | Hi... I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern. By what you quote I feel that it could be eczema. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be Chat Doctor. For this oil massage and lotions like Hiatus will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | When I have caffeine, say a cup of coffee or a coke, I get chest pains, my chest feels tight and it feels like my breathing is constricted. I have never had this problem before, and have always been able to drink caffeinated beverages until this April. What is causing this? | Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you are having mostly HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Caffeine containing Chat Doctor. It actually causes laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms like chest pain and tightness. So better to start Proton pump inhibitors. Avoid coffee for few days. Avoid stress and tension. Don't worry, you will be alright. |

Should I call my doctor immediately to have another specialized health check up? if so, what type of health check up is needed? thanks. - wayne | Hi, Thanks for asking.

Watch out for these symptoms and repeat after a month.5. Checking serum IGE levels could be helpful. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

Love, Premature ejaculation is most of the time psychological rather than organic problem can get some antidepressant prescribed by a psychiatrist to treat this problem. The first and foremost thing is that you need to relive the stress related to premature ejaculation.Don't think of ejaculation during intercourse.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am having terrible pain/swelling in my face. Mostly around my left ear, jaw and neck but it is now my right side that is hurting too and it is quickly becomming unbearable. My dentist has told me I have a bad jaw alignment and that is the reasoning. To cut to the chase here, I am wondering if there are other ways of dealing with this other than surgery. Hopefully something less painful, and less expensive (I am not exactly financially stable, so I have been sucking it up, but soon realized that is pointless now that I am missing work due to the pain.) Thank you for your time, Dalton. | Hello Friend! Pain and swelling near left ear and around often indicates that there is presence of infection inn teeth of the lower jaw. It could be due to a cavity in a tooth which has become very deep and caused infection in the jaw or any wisdom tootChatDoctoring out in this region. The same could be the case for the right side as well. Please visit your dentist and get x-ray of both side done. Whatever is the course of action you will have to deal with it because toothache can be really painful. Take Care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i am married for 10 years i dint concieve the time i got married finally after 10 years i planned for laproscopy and i came to know that there is tb in my uterus and there was a sectum in the uterus and my doctor has taken out the sectum now i am on akt 4 can i become pregnant | Dear Madam, Tuberculosis of the reproduction organs does lead to problems in conceiving. It seems, there were some adhesions in your uterus due to the involvement of the uterine lining. Breaking the adhesions or removing a septum does not assure pregnancy. The extent of involvement of uterine lining plays a great role. You will have to undergo treatment for genital tuberculosis which is for minimum 6 -9 months. Then, if your uterine lining regenerates healthily, you have some chance of pregnancy. Sometimes, along with the involvement of uterine lining, the fallopian tubes also are involved by tuberculosis and get blocked. Even though the block is removed, the tubes become spastic, lose their motility and thus cannot propel the egg to the uterus. In such case, natural pregnancy is almost improbable. If the uterine lining is normal, then test-tube baby (in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer) may work. I feel you should plan as follows:1. Get tuberculosis treated first.2. Get yourself thoroughly investigated for patency and mobility of the tubes (by hysterosalpingography and/or laparoscopy) and status of uterine lining (by hysteroscopy and ultrasonography). 3. Find out whether you form eggs regularly (by ultrasonography, ovulation monitoring kit or hormonal profile)4. Get your husbands' semen examined. All these investigations can give you idea whether you can conceive or not. Of course, they have to be carried out only after your full treatment of tuberculosis is over; i.e. after 6 - 8 months. Take care please. |

Generally it is safe. But it has few side effects on long term use-ataxia, nystagmus, gum hyperplasia, glucose intolerance, cerebellar degeneration, alter metabolism of other medicine which are primarily metabolized by liver.

It has failure rate less than 0.3 per HWY. Though it takes some time for fully effective, it is advisable to take some back up method like condoms etc. for initial 1-2 months. Some amount cum or ejaculation can make you pregnant if it occurs around fertile days or in case of failure of depot shot. You need to wait for next period to be sure.

Been Chat Doctor. In my opinion Lyme disease is the cause for your slow heart rate. Lyme disease affect the conduction system of the heart and damage it.Thus, housing poor impulse conduction and bradycardia (low pulse rate). So you may require pacemaker as you are symptomatic and slow heart rate can cause decrease coronary perfusion and thus chest pain occurs. So consult your cardiologist again and discuss pace maker. |

From the details produced, your gums are heavily infected and swollen. Get thorough scaling done. If required, shaping of gums can be done.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My daughter is 10 years old, she has been running a fever of 103. 4 off and on for over 24 hours now. She is complaining of dizziness, and her eyes are burning. Het lips are a dark purplish red color. I have tried bringing it down with ibuprofen, cool rags/bath, and it s not getting better. She is miserable, and I m helpless. | Hi...high fever without localizing signs like this can be viral illness or any fever of unknown origin. But lips turning purplish is unusual and cannot be left like this. I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible. But I will tell you certain facts regarding viral illness - Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards - |
